3.5/4

Pretty good weeknight recipe. My husband loved it. I have tons of zucchini and tomatoes in the garden right now so was looking for some recipes other than our usual. (I also subbed one leek and a small yellow onion for the red onion.) I used local bacon and cooked the bacon whole, cutting it up afterwards. I used more vegetables than called for also added some sliced fresh swiss chard at the end, which was nice. This isn't spectacular but is very tasty and a nice easy, tasty, vegetable-packed meal.

I too sauteed the squash (I used a mix of summer squash, it's all the same to me) with the onions, and it comes out great. I love this dish for using up some of the excess summer produce, and, well, everything's better with bacon. Made it twice so far and certainly will keep it in summer rotation.

Easy weeknight dinner and better than all the Italian restaurants around town! Used spaghetti of gemelli and it turned out great.

Easy, delicious, and surprisingly sophisticated. I wouldn't try to make it without great, fresh veggies.

YummM! Such an easy weeknight meal, and a great way to use up leftover veggies. I added chopped bell pepper, mushrooms, and a few sundried tomatoes. I also used a can of fire roasted diced because I don't usually have fresh tomatoes in the winter, and slightly decreased the bacon (to 10 slices) and goat cheese (to 3.5 oz). Did a full box of barilla plus penne (14 oz). Will make again - and like that it's so easy to play with and add to.

Needed weeknight inspiration and found it with this easy and scrumptious recipe! Added a diced yellow bell pepper and garlic to the onion sauté, followed by zucchini. Subbed a tin of diced toms for fresh and omitted bacon to avoid a trip to the grocers...didn't matter, still a delicious dinner!

This was great. I did not use 12 slices of bacon because it would have been too much using the homemade bacon I have so I used 8 ounces of bacon ends diced. Wonderful and fast recipe. The type of zucchini I am growing this year does not have many seeds so I did the boil method and it was great. With a different zucchini I might have sauteed it instead. I also used rose wine because I had some leftover from the night before and it worked fine.

Really great. The only change I made was to scale everything up slightly to use a pound of pasta (I hate recipes that leave me with a quarter of a box left over). I thought the boiled squash were fine, but sauteing them with the onion would probably be even better. The squash are starting to take over the garden, so I'm sure I'll be making this many more times this summer, especially when the tomatoes come in as well.

Love it! Use TJ's herbed goat cheese. Can make with or without bacon, but better with bacon.
